In  collating  the  material  for  this  Guide  Book,  17,827  special  communications,  and 
2500  pages  of  The  American  Angler  and  other  accredited  authorities,  have  been 
received,  examined  and  in  journalistic  parlance,  "boiled  down."  The  result  is 
before  the  reader  in  the  form  of  2,105  centre  points  from  whence  over  7,000  angling 
waters  are  more  or  less  accessible;  of  these  the  following  data  are  given: 


8th— Accommodations  and  charges  at 
hotels,  also  those  of  private  boarding 
houses. 

9th — The  favorite  grounds, when  known, 
of  local  anglers. 

10th— Cost  of  guides,  boats  and  bait. 

11th — Where  salt  water  exists,  the  best 
tide  to  fish  in. 

12th— Cost  of  permits  when  required. 


1st.— How  they  are  reached. 

2ud— Distance  from  nearest  point  by 
railroad,  or  other  public  transportation 
routes. 

3rd— The  species  of  fish  therein. 

4th— The  fishes  that  are  most  abund- 
ant. 

5th— The  best  months  for  fishing. 

6th— Local  baits  used. 

7th— Methods  of  local  anglers. 

In  addition  to  the  above  I  have  given  the  quality  of  the  fishing  when  authenti- 
cated by  my  own  experience  or  that  of  a  responsible  correspondent.  In  this 
connection  anglers  should  bear  in  mind  that  fish  are  erratic  in  their  humors;  that 
in  the  same  water  fishing  may  be  good  to-day  and  bad  to-morrow;  that  wind, 
weather,  water  and  the  feeding  hours  of  fish  are  all  essential  factors  in  an  angler's 
success  or  failure.  In  waters  of  which  I  have  no  authentic  information  the  reader 
will  find  recorded,  without  comment,  the  names  thereof,  distance  from  station, 
charges,  species  of  fish  caught,  etc. 

The  plan  of  cominlation  which  has  been  adopted,  I  believe  to  be  the  best  form 
for  making  the  Guide  Book  concise  and  of  ready  reference.  It  was  a  subject  of 
much  thought  and  several  methods  were  experimented  upon,  particularly  that  of 
classification  by  waters,  but  the  immense  mass  of  material  to  be  utilized  and  the 
geographical  range  and  area  of  the  rivers  and  lakes,  indicated  that  if  this  latter 
form  was  used,  the  book  would  grow  to  the  size  of  a  ponderous  encyclopediae 
rather  than  the  pocket  volume  in  which  it  now  appears. 

I  have  endeavored  to  make  plain  to  the  angling  reader,  resident  in  any  section, 
the  perplexity  cxi>erienced  in  the  identification  of  a  fish  under  its  local  name,  vary- 
ing in  different  localities.  In  a  few  instances  I  have  been  unable  to  do  this  and 
have  called  for  information  from  anglers  familiar  with  the  fishes  and  the  waters 
where  peculiar  names  for  the  former  are  in  use.  This  confusion  exists  more  gen- 
erally in  the  Soiithem  States,  particulai-ly  for  the  local  names  of  the  salt  water  fish 
on  the  Atlantic  coast  belt  from  the  mouth  of  the  Chesapeake  Bay  to  the  southern 
limit  of  the  State  of  Georgia;  also,  for  the  fresh  water  fishes  in  the  states  of  Vir- 
ginia, West  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  Georgia,  Kentucky  and  Tennessee.  I  urge 
upon  my  brother  anglers  to  assist  me  in  simplifying  the  popular  nomenclature 
of  the  fishes  of  the  country. 

For  errors  of  omission  I  can  only  claim  indulgence  based  on  the  scope,  newness 
and  magnitude  of  the  compilation.  Doubtless  many  fruitful  angling  waters  are 
not  named,  owing  to  my  ignorance  of  their  existence,  and  to  the  impossibility  of 
covering  the  entire  continent  in  the  first  issue  of  a  work  of  this  character,  yet  of 
this  I  am  assured,  that  nearly  four  thousand  excellent  fishing  "grounds  "  are  here- 
in located,  concerning  which  I  have  been  entirely  ignorant,  despite  an  angling 
experience  of  over  a  quarter  of  a  centitry. 

To  those  of  our  selfish  brethren  of  the  angle,  if  such  there  be,  who  are  inclined 
to  grow  surlily  critical  over  the  "giving  away"  of  their  favorite  waters,  I  beg  to 
quote  what  old  Walton's  Piscator  said  to  Venator  over  two  hundred  years  ago: 

"Go  your  way  presently;  take  my  rod  and  do  as  I  bid  you,  and  I  will  sit  down 
and  mend  my  tackling  till  you  return  back."  WM.  C.  HARRIS.

EXPLANATORY. 


The  alphabetical  headings  of  the  text  indicate  the  stations  of  transportation  com- 
panies, for  instance:  On  page  48  will  be  found  Lennox  (C.  M.  &  St.  P.),  and  by  refer- 
ring to  the  "Index  of  Transportation  Companies  "  on  pp.  244-249.  the  initial  letters 
"C.  M.  &  St.  P,"  will  be  found  to  designate  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul  Rail- 
way, and  that  Mr.  A.  V.  H.  Carpenter,  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  is  the  General  Passenger 
Agent  of  said  railway,  to  whom  all  letters  of  inquiry  as  to  trains,  cost  of  transporta- 
tion etc.,  via  his  road,  should  be  addressed.  Over  two  hundred  transportation 
companies  are  designated  in  this  manner. 

If  the  angler  desires  to  visit,  or  acquire  a  knowledge  of  any  particular  water,  and 
does  not  find  it  among  the  headings  in  the  text  iinder  the  state  captions,  by  refer- 
ring to  the  "Index  to  Fishing  Waters"  on  pages  209  to  243,  he  will  see  the  page  in- 
dicated upon  which  the  name,  locality  and  fishing  facilities  of  the  water  occur. 

Owing  to  the  large  number  of  correspondents  (nearly  18,000)  upon  whom  the 
editor  and  compiler  has  been  compelled  to  rely  for  much  of  the  information  con- 
tained in  the  guide  book,  there,  doubtless,  occur  many  errors  in  the  orthography 
of  the  waters  named  herein.  These,  it  has  been  found  impracticable  to  entirely  cor- 
rect in  the  first  edition,  owing  to  the  fact  that  over  2,000  of  the  waters  named  have 
no  place  in  the  Gazetteers  or  on  accredited  maps.  Such  errors  are  aptly  illustrated 
by  "Ephnores  lake  "  or  "Effnor  lake";  the  first  is  found  on  page  136  as  adjacent  to 
"Jessups  Landing"  station  on  the  Adirondack  railroad,  and  the  second  (Effnor)  at 
Hadley  station,  page  138,  on  the  same  road.  These  two  stations  are  but  five  miles 
apart  and  Ephnores  1.  and  Effnor  1.  are  doubtless  one  and  the  same  water.  When 
such  inconsistencies  occur,  the  angling  reader  will  not  be  confused,  as  however  va- 
ried the  spelling  may  be,  the  pronunciation  is  not  affected. 

Again;  in  numerous  instances  the  terms  lake,  pond,  stream,  creek,  run  and  brook 
will  be  found  interchangeable,  but  to  prevent  confusion  we  have  given,  at  the  risk 
of  repetition,  the  local  nomenclature  of  the  waters. 

To  avoid  frequent  use  of  the  same  terms  we  have  employed  the  following  : 

Abbreviations— B.  b.,  black  bass;  br.,  brook;  cr.  creek;  1.,  lake;  1.  m.,  large 
mouth;  m.,  mile;  p.,  pond;  p.  d.,  per  day;  p.  w.,  per  week;  r.,  river;  s.  m.,  small 
mouth;  str.,  stream;  w.,  week. 


SUMMARY  OP  THE  FISH  LAWS. 


[The  provisions  of  the  fish  laws  of  the  different  States,  Territories,  and  of  the 
Dominion  of  Canada  prohibit,  under  heavy  penalties,  the  killing  of  salmon,  trout, 
black  bass,  and  other  recognized  game  fish  by  any  other  method  than  by  hook  and 
line.  In  states  where  exceptions  to  this  general  law  obtains,  a  note  is  made  of 
the  fact  under  the  proper  caption.  The  open  seasons  as  given  in  the  annexed  sched- 
ule refer  exclusively  to  hook  and  line  fishing,  which  in  the  State  of  New  York  is 
defined  as  "a  line  held  in  the  hand,"  and  as  "laj'-out"  or  "set  lines"  are  prohibited 
by  statute  in  many  of  the  states,  a  strict  construction  of  the  definition  of  hook  and 
line  fishing  is  indicated  by  the  New  York  law.] 

Alabama.— The  fish  laws  of  this  state  apply  only  to  the  Tennessee  river  in 
which  it  is  unlawful  to  use  nets  or  poison. 

Arkansas. — No  protecting  fish  laws  have  been  enacted  in  this  state. 

British  Columbia,  Province  of— See  Ontario  and  Quebec,  the  game  and  fish 
laws  of  which  were  expended  to  British  ('olumbia  by  order  of  the  Governor  in 
Council  on  Sept.  15,  1879. 

California. — The  ojien  season  for  all  varieties  of  trout  is  from  April  1st  to  Nov. 
1st;  salmon  ai*e  protected  only  in  the  month  of  August. 

Colorado.— It  is  not  lawful  to  kill  trout  "ok  any  food  fish"  with  hook  and  line 
except  in  the  months  of  July,  August,  .September,  October  and  November;  fishing 
is  prohibited  within  200  yards  of  "any  fishway  or  artificial  or  natural  obstruction" 
in  all  the  waters  of  the  state. 

Connecticut.— The  open  seasons  are:— Trout  from  April  1  to  July  1;  black  bass 
can  be  caught  in  the  running  waters  of  the  state  in  any  month  of  the  year.  There 
is  no  close  season  for  mascalonge,  pike  and  pickerel.  The  waters  protected  by 
special  enactments  are  numerous  and  as  there  has  never  been  an  official  list  of  them 
collated,  itis  difficult  to  cull  from  the  general  laws  an  authentic  schedule  of  them. 
The  following  listhowever,  will  doubtless  serve  the  puiiioses  of  the  resident  or  visit- 
ing angler;  Hockanum  river  in  East  Hartford  is  protected  from  December  1  to  April 
1;  Salmon  river  in  Middlesex  County  can  only  be  fished  from  the  1st  of  April  to 
June  15;  fishing  is  prohibited  in  Pattagonsettlake,  in  East  Lyme,  between  Novem- 
ber 15  and  March  15,  unless  by  consent  of  the  owner;  black  bass  cannot  be  caught 
in  West  Hill  pond  in  New  Hartford  and  Barkhamsted,  between  April  30  and  June  10; 
w:nter  fishing  (from  November  15  to  April  1),  is  prohibited  in  Marsh  lake,  in  the 
towns  of  Bristol  and  Plymouth  until  March  28,  1886,  and  the  same  is  entirely  pro- 
hibited in  Lake  Wononscopomoc  at  Lakeville,  and  Lake  Washenee  one  of  the  Twin 
lakes  at  Chapinville,  between  November  15  and  June  15;  black  bass  less  thanfi  inches 
in  size  if  caught  in  Waramanglake  in  Litchfield  County  mustbe  returned  to  the  water 
immediately;  fish  must  not  be  taken  by  any  means  from  Cherry  jiond  in  the  towns 
r,t  Avon  and  Canton,  except  during  July  and  August;  Tyler  pond  in  the  town  of 
Goshen  must  not  be  fished  except  from  June  1  to  Jamiary  1;  fishing  is  prohibited 
in  Columbia  Reservoir  until  January  2,  1887 ;  fishing  is  prohibited  in  Stratton  or

Dakota.— Fishing  with  hook  and  line  is  permitted  from  May  1  to  February  1, 

Delaware.— Fish  cannot  be  caught  from  the  waters  of  this  state  by  non-

Protective  Associations,  the  fees  for  which  are  $5  the  first  year,  and  $2  each 
succeeding  year.  George  Churchman,  Sec'y,  to  whom  application  must  be  made 
for  membership,  resides  in  Wilmington,  Del. 

District  of  Columbia.— No  restrictions  on  hook  and  line  fishing.  See.  Marj--

Parkers  (Or.  &  C.)— The  report  from  this  station  comes  in  the  following  garb: 
"The  best  way  to  catch  trout  is  on  a  string,  and  the  best  bait  is  silver  or  greenbacks. 
The  best  way  to  hunt  salmon  is  in  the  spring  of  the  year  when  they  go  up  on  the 
hills  to  browse  on  fir  bads,  to  take  a  good  breech  loading  shot  gun  and  shoot  them, 
on  the  wing.  I  do  not  know  much  about  catching  chubs,  but  the  best  way  to  bait 
for  suckers  is  to  use  a  bottle  of  chain  lightning.  It  will  get  them  every  time.  Our 
local  anglers  have  gone  to  Washington,  D.  C.  The  tallest  ones  are  trying  to  get 
into  Cleveland's  cabinet,  and  the  common  sized  ones  will  get  into  anything  they 
can.  Their  favorite  grounds  are  around  the  Treasury  building,  as  long  as  it  la^ts. 
In  conclusion  I  will  say  that  there  is  no  good  fishing  around  here.

the  substance  of  the  report  sent  us,  but  from  the  number  of  anglers  residing  in 
Parryville,  we  looked  for  better  waters  adjacent  to  that  town.  Pine  Run  and  Wild 
cr.,  however,  which  contain  trout  are  from  5  to  7  m.  distant,  and  we  presume  are 
visited  by  the  local  anglers.

Philadelphia  (Via  14  r.  r.)— The  Delaware  River  above  and  below  the  city  gives 
fair  white  perch  fishing;  the  fish  are  small.  Down  the  r.  as  far  as  Salem  these  fish 
are  caught  weighing  a  lb  and  upward.  For  salt  water  fish  local  anglers  resort  to  At- 
lantic City,  Great  Egg  Harbor,  Cape  May,  the  Delaware  Breakwater  and  other  points 
on  the  sea  coast.  For  fresh  water  sport,  the  Schuylkill,  Delaware  and  Brandywine 
aftord  fair  b.  b.  fishing,  within  30  m.  of  the  city;  the  two  first  named  waters  a  few 
years  ago  yielded  excellent  creels  of  b.  b.  with  a  fly;  we  hear,  however,  that  the 
fishing  is  falling  off  and  that  local  anglers  are  going  further  away  from  home.  Sev- 
eral trout  streams  lie  within  25  m.,  but  they  are  fished  out  early  in  the  season. 
Would  advise  visiting  anglers  to  consult  with  the  fishing  tackle  dealers  as  to  fishing 
grounds.     This  rule  holds  good  for  all  large  cities.

August  best;  hotel  $1  p.  d.;  boats  $1  p.  d.  The  term  "green  bass"  is  a  conundrum 
to  us,  although  we  have  fished  the  waters  of  the  Schuylkill  for  15  years  past.  As 
the  only  species  of  the  fresh  water  basses  in  the  Schuylkill  r.  is  the  s.  m.  b.  b., 
the  "green  bass"  is  probably  used  simply  to  denote  a  differentiation  in  the  color 
of  the  black  bass  which  arises  from  a  slight  difterence  in  habitat  of  the  fish.

(?)  etc.;  bream  mostabiindant:  worm  bait;  summer  months  best.  Wethinkthe  "rock" 
so  called  above,  is  the  striped  bass,  but  it  is  very  diflicult  to  identify  a  fish  by  the 
local  name  prevailing  in  the  Southern  States.  Last  of  ebb  and  first  of  flood  tide 
best. 

Beldoc  (P.  R.  &  A.) — Beldoc  p.  and  cr.  near  station;  bream,  trout  (b.  d.),  jack 
(pike)  etc.;  bream  most  numerous;  worm  bait;  April,  May  and  June  best;  boats

p.  d. ;  guides  boats  and  bait  at  moderate  cost. 

Branson  (P.  R.  &  A.)— Coosawhatchie  Swamp  2  m. ;  Youmans  Mill  5  m.;  Cope's 
Mill  10m.;  Salkehatchie  Swamp  10m.;  perch,  trout,  (b.  b.),  pike,  catfish  etc.;  worm 
bait  mostly;  June  and  July  best;  hotel  $1  p.  d.;  bait  at  very  moderate  cost.  Better 
fishing  in  the  Savannah  r.  IG  m.  distant. 

Camptoellton  (P.  R.  &  A.) — Coosawhatchie  2)2  »i-;  Jackson  branch  4  m.,  and 
Savannah  r.;  Jackson  branch  best;  bream,  trout  (b.  b.),  catfish  etc.;  trout  and 
bream  most  numerous;  earth  and  Catawba  worms  as  baits;  May,  June,  July  and 
August  best;  boats  and  baits  can  be  had. 

Charleston  (Several  r.  r.  and  s.  s.  lines)— Atlantic  Ocean  10  m.;  blackfish,  bass, 
whiting,  trout,  porgies,  sheepshead  and  other  varieties;  blackfish,  whiting  and  trout

$4  p.  d.;  boats  $2.50  to  $5  p.  d.    Last  of  ebb  and  first  of  flood  tides  best.

boats  can  be  had,  but  not  needed  much;  last  of  ebb  and  first  of  flood  tide  best. 
■fhe  salt  water  mullet  is  said  to  ta,ke  a  worm-baited  hook  very  freely  in  the  above 
waters,  especially  in  the  months  of  May,  June,  July  and  August;  if  this  is  so  (and 
there  seems  no  doubt  of  it),  it  is  the  only  ground  known  to  us,  where  they  can  be 
caught  with  hook  and  line.  The  "rockfish,"  so  called  here,  is  the  striped  bass  of 
the  north,  and  doubtless  the  same  rule  holds  good  in  all  Southern  States.  In  Mary- 
land and  Virginia  this  nomenclature  has  prevailed  from  time  immemorable. 

Early  Branch  (P.  R.  &  A,)— Salkehatchie  r.  3  m.;    Coosawhatchie  r.  4  m.;  first 


UNITED   STATES   AND   CANADA.  179

boarding  house  $1.25  p.  d.;  guide  $1  p.  d.;  guides  furnish  boat  and  bait.  Half  ebb 
to  young  flood  is  the  best  stage  of  the  tide. 

Ellenton  (P.  R.  &  A.) — Upper  3  runs,  Savannah  r..  Four  Mile  branch  and  the  I's 
from  1  to  3  m.;  Savannah  r.  and  the  I's  best;  ti'out,  (b.  b.),  bream,perch,  catfiBh, 
etc.;  earth  worms,  wasp  or  jacket  nest  etc.  as  baits;  April  and  October  best  months; 
hotel  at  reasonable  prices.  The  striped  bass  (rockfish)  run  up  the  Savannah  r.  in 
quantities  during  July  and  Aug.

clusive best;  hotels  $2  p.  d.;  Doats  and  bait  at  small  cost.

the  best  tide;  May  1  to  Oct.  1  best;  hotels  reasonable;  guides  plenty  at  $1  to  $2 
p.  d.;  boats  75c  to  |l  p.  d. 

Gourdin's  (No.  E.  of  S.  C.)— Santee  r.  1>^  m.;  "brook  and  spotted  trout,"  bream, 
perch,  etc.;  perch  and  bream  most  numerous;  worms  and  cut  bait  used,  and  for 
trout  live  bait;  May  to  September  best.  The  "brook  and  spotted  trout"  so  called 
by  our  correspondent  we  judge  to  be  the  b.  b.  and  the  strawberry  bass.  The  best
